Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method to connect a mobile device to a network, the method comprising: determining whether there is an authenticated access point accessible to a mobile device through a local wireless communication protocol; if there is no authenticated access point accessible to the mobile device through a local wireless communication protocol, determining whether there is a non-authenticated access point whose capacity is over a predetermined value and which is accessible to the mobile device through a local wireless communication protocol; if there is no authenticated access point accessible to the mobile device through a local wireless communication protocol and there is a non-authenticated wireless access point whose capacity is over the predetermined value and which is accessible to the mobile device through a local wireless communication protocol, instructing the mobile device to connect to a local area network via wireless communication with the non-authenticated access point; and initiating a virtual private network (VPN) with the mobile device connected to the network via wireless communication with the non-authenticated access point.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: if there is an authenticated access point accessible to the mobile device through a local communication protocol, instructing the mobile device to connect to a local area network via wireless communication with the authenticated access point.

3

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the authenticated access point and the non-authenticated access point respectively include a Wi-Fi access point, and the local area network via the authenticated access point and the local area network via the non-authenticated access point respectively include a Wi-Fi network.

4

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising: determining whether a quality of service (QoS) of the local area network to which the mobile device is connected is guaranteed.

5

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the determining whether a quality of service (QoS) of the local area network to which the mobile device is connected is guaranteed is performed based at least in part on at least one of a capacity of the local area network to which the mobile device is connected and a task to be executed in the mobile device.

6

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising: upon determining that the quality of service (QoS) of the local area network to which the mobile device is connected is not guaranteed, instructing the mobile device to disconnect from the connected wireless local area network, and to connect to a mobile telecommunications network.

7

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein the authenticated access point includes at least one of an access point controlled by a mobile operating server and an access point previously used by the mobile device.

8

8. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: receiving from the mobile device a flag indicating amounts of traffic to be transmitted from or to the mobile device through the local area network via the authenticated access point or the non-authenticated access point.

9

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising: if the amounts of traffic are not transmitted through the local area network provided by the authenticated access point or the non-authenticated access point within a predetermined time, instructing the mobile device to disconnect from the local area network provided by the authenticated access point or the non-authenticated access point, and to connect to a mobile telecommunications network.

10

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined value is associated with a task to be executed in the mobile device.

11

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capacity and the predetermined value are associated with a bandwidth provided by the non-authenticated access point.

12

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: if there is no non-authenticated access point whose capacity is over the predetermined value accessible to a mobile device through a local wireless communication protocol, instructing the mobile device to connect to a mobile telecommunications network.

13

13. A method to connect a mobile device to a network, the method comprising: determining that there is no authenticated access point accessible to a mobile device; in accordance with the determination, identifying a non-authenticated access point accessible to the mobile device, wherein the non-authenticated access point has a capacity above a threshold value; and wirelessly connecting the mobile device to the non-authenticated access point.

14

14. The method of claim 13 , the method further comprising: establishing a secure connection between the mobile device and a mobile operating server.

15

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein establishing a secure connection comprises: establishing a virtual private network connection between the mobile device and the mobile operating server.

16

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein wirelessly connecting comprises: disabling uplink transmission from the mobile device to the non-authenticated access point.

17

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a mobile operating server to perform operations, comprising: determining that there is no authenticated access point accessible to a mobile device; in accordance with the determination, identifying a non-authenticated access point accessible to the mobile device, wherein the non-authenticated access point has a capacity above a threshold value; and wirelessly connecting the mobile device to the non-authenticated access point.

18

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause the mobile operating server to perform operations further comprising: establishing a secure connection between the mobile device and the mobile operating server.

19

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein establishing a secure connection comprises: establishing a virtual private network connection between the mobile device and the mobile operating server.

20

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein wirelessly connecting comprises: disabling uplink transmission from the mobile device to the non-authenticated access point.
